Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has broadened the utility of tokenized stocks by allowing them to serve as margin collateral for perpetual futures trading. Effective June 4, traders can now use 15 different tokenized equities and ETFs to meet margin requirements within the platform’s Unified Trading Account and Multi-Asset Mode. The newly eligible assets include rAAPL, rAMZN, rMETA, rMU, rTSLA, rGOOGL, rNVDA, rINTC, rMSFT, rASML, rAVGO, rTSM, rQQQ, rSPY, and rSNDK.
Bitget’s Unified Trading Account lets users manage spot holdings, derivatives positions, and margin obligations in a single account. With this update, tokenized instruments can now contribute toward collateral needs for USDT-M futures, reducing the need to convert assets into a single settlement currency before entering futures trades. CEO Gracy Chen noted that as tokenized assets become more popular, users seek flexible ways to deploy their holdings across various trading activities. She emphasized that adding tokenized stocks and ETFs as margin assets increases flexibility within the Unified Trading Account and supports a seamless experience across crypto and traditional market products.
This move builds on Bitget’s recent focus on tokenized financial products. In May, the exchange launched Reality, a regulated tokenization platform that issues blockchain-based rTokens backed 1:1 by publicly traded U.S. stocks and ETFs held through regulated broker-dealers. Reality aims to provide on-chain access to traditional financial assets while addressing liquidity constraints and handling dividends and corporate actions. The rTokens are supported by infrastructure connected to major U.S. exchanges and backed by reserve attestations from The Network Firm. Many of the newly eligible margin assets originate from the Reality suite, allowing traders to use them within Bitget’s derivatives framework rather than limiting them to spot market exposure.
Previously in May, Bitget also introduced SPCXUSDT, a SpaceX-linked pre-IPO perpetual contract, allowing speculation on a potential public listing without owning shares. The exchange has been expanding its tokenized equity offerings, with its products processing over $30 billion in trading volume since 2025. Users can access more than 100 tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, forex pairs, and precious metals through Bitget’s ecosystem. Additionally, Bitget Wallet integrated xStocks infrastructure, adding over 130 tokenized stocks and ETFs, bringing its tokenized real-world asset offerings to more than 300 products.
